Board considers removing sex-ed magazine from junior high

LITTLE EGG HARBOR, N.J. (AP)  A New Jersey school board is considering removing copies of a sex-education magazine from a junior high library after some parents and a school board member complained it's too explicit.

Pinelands Regional School District board member Stephen Kubricki says the magazines called Sex, Etc. go beyond "valuable information," and include graphic images and text.

A spokeswoman for the organization that produces the magazine tells the Asbury Park Press it follows sex education standards and the material is reviewed by doctors and other experts before publication. She says the magazine is mostly distributed to high schools, but some middle schools also subscribe.

The magazines were removed from tables in the library on Monday and placed on shelves while the board considers getting rid of them altogether.
